>1996 - Discusses some of the difficulties in
    creating an X Server for Microsoft Windows.
    More geared towards implementing a server that
    translates X raster ops into Windows GDI raster
    ops. Cygwin/X does not currently translate raster ops,
    though the framework to do so is in place, and development
    on raster op translation could be resumed in the future.</P
